Converting DT-Swiss hub to SRAM

Equipment
1

Yesterday I converted my aero wheels from Shimano to 12-speed SRAM after watching this video DT Swiss Shimano Freehub Body to SRAM XD Driver Swap - YouTube

Was pretty straightforward converting the freehub. However after finishing I realized the Shimano cassette I removed had what appears to be a spacer (silver ring in pic):

Yes that is removed Shimano cassette in a SRAM box.

Was that spacer suppose to be put under the SRAM 12-speed cassette?

Thanks!

Yep XDR. The eTap AXS Systems Manual shows no spacer:

And I used grease, so looks like I installed correctly.

I switched my 11 speed Shimano 11-34 for an 11-28 on my road bike this weekend and was totally confused by that spacer. Wish you guys had started this thread on Saturday . . .

I’ve got an unopened 11-25 Shimano cassette that I’d like to see if it has the spacer in the box, but I’m going to sell it as new in box.

Ok I guess that explains how to interpret the back of box:
